The knock sensor is mounted on the cylinder block and detects engine knocking. The vibrations caused by knocking are converted into electrical signals through the piezoelectric ceramic element. The Engine Control Module (ECM) controls ignition timing based on the electrical signals. If the knock sensor signal does not vary for a defined period of time, the ECM detects a malfunction and sets the P1324 code.
